    Pagasa are every bit as useless at predicting the weather as was Michael Fish in 1987 and the BBC currently. The Philippine forecaster was 'forced' to admit last Tuesday that the dry season was over following several days of heavy rain affecting much of the country.

    Yes, , Jamie. Funnily enough, I'd seen a similar forecast earlier in the week - predicting a drought lasting up until December - and had intended reporting it on here too, but then my attention focussed on another issue and, for some unknown reason, ... I couldn't find the link when searching for it again.
